Analyrical: So conjure, wander, build that bridge Or try to walk steady on a baseless grid Keep thoughts heavy in the place they sit only cuz that's where we say they live Phingaz: The wise man say "No man is an island" But which wise man's paradigm is behind it From this rock that I stand, stand rocking to and from What I am now, and yet to become Analyrical: Play sports, take course, baby swell that brain Fun in the sun is always self-contained Reach out, beatdown, zero gonna even out Vacancy a place to breathe, that's what it be about Phingaz: When a breath becomes struggle Lungs fill with water till they need an air bubble They burst through, despite the trouble Swim hard to get to dry land, but the jungle is tougher than blue ocean sand. Hook: How do you leave when you have no exit How do you stay when your soul never stepped in Left, Right, Up, Down; no dimension Time is the constant; no suspension How do you leave when you have no exit How do you stay when your soul never stepped in Left, Right, Up, Down; no dimension Time is the constant; no direction Post-Hook: No Feel No Touch No Speed No Rush No Room No Space No Form No Face No Way No How No In No Out No Plan No Style No Calm No Wild Analyrical: Everyday, same channel, same panel, same viewership The human id is stuck inside a rudiment Phingaz: The hamster spins wheels while reality deals Fate laughs with purpose, while passion turns heels Analyrical: Catch an ear, auditory segments get infected Let me hear, every sentence with intention Phingaz: Defiant miss-placings, root complications But sound ring silent when scream's complaisant Analyrical: Eyes ticking, mind switching, slight twitching,  Fight slipping, life missing, blind prism, strike hindrance, FIND VISION Phingaz: Escape prison, to behold new freedom But it turns out, you don't really need it Analyrical: Who you are is who you aren't Who you were is how you start What you think change in a blink What you need change what you seek Came in the door, said it before Energy to feed, so you fed it some more Hook Post-Hook: No See No Hear No Brave No Fear No Stop No Go No Hot No Cold No Sign No Blank No Fly No Wait No Line No Wall No Climb No Fall |.|

about

When I first heard "No Mans Land" it was a bonus track without a name, which gave it that mysterious vibe. Even the opening of the song has a hypnotizing and strange feel to it that hooked me right away. First and foremost, I'm a fan of hidden tracks and bonus songs, ala Aesop Rock "Pigs" at the end of 'None Shall Pass', Green Day "All By Myself" at the end of 'Nookie'. The last track is the closing of a good book and should rightfully complement the albums ending, even though this track is more or less "unlisted" and not so much "hidden" it very well is the ending of the album the way Common Labor intended, in my opinion. ... the hook says it all "How do you leave when you have no exit?"

This haunting song can originally be found at the end of the physical copy of "Tales of the Troubadours" - Common Labor's debut album.
